Today, organizations are looking for applications that are intuitive, intelligent and highly user-centric. HUB from Ramco is aimed at addressing the new-age ERP buyer who is looking at applications not as a ‘System of record’ but as a ‘System’ capable of understanding the user, making intelligent suggestions and auto completing the regular tasks. With one screen for each role, HUB will be a powerful addition that will help in productivity improvement at all levels. We look forward to rolling this out in phases this year.”
